My name is Becca and I’m a 40 year old single mom and nurse in RI Chester, NY. After enduring significantly abusive relationships I was finally able to free myself from them after the birth of my 7 year old daughter, who escaped unscathed. Unfortunately for me, my weight ballooned to over 330 lbs. that took me a long time to lose. Now I’ve lost 120 lbs of that weight and, while I feel fantastic physically, I can’t fully psychologically heal from the terrible things I was told about myself and how unattractive I am because I have a lot of excess skin. Had I lost the weight surgically, my insurance would consider covering the surgery to remove excess skin, but unfortunately for me I did not do surgery to lose the weight. While I definitely look better clothed, when I look at myself in the mirror all I see are the lumps and bumps from the extra skin and my self esteem is shot. I want to feel sexy and beautiful again and it’s difficult with all of this extra skin getting in the way. I also get a painful fungal infection called intertrigo frequently and the only true prevention for this is not to have skin folds. I’m hoping anyone can help me reduce this cost so I can afford to be happy for the first time in my adult life with my appearance.
